That's the idea, I have just been lacking time/priority for gksu-polkit lately =( > ntering the password and clicking on the Authentification button of > the dialog, the gksu-polkit takes 100% cpu according to the top > command in the terminal, and continues to do so also after quitting > synaptic.

I will bet this is a bug in the server, that is leaving the client serverless, and it goes crazy. I need to fix both bugs, so let's try to figure them out. Can you please login as root, then run /usr/sbin/gksu-server, then run gksu-polkit to run synaptic, and tell me if gksu-server is crashing? Are you on AMD64?
